Petrino to Falcons: “Psych! I’m staying with you!”

“I had no idea that this would work so well,” Petrino said. “But these people here in Atlanta are really goofy. I mean, ‘Hey, Atlanta, gullible is written on the ceiling! Made you look!’ That’s what it’s like.”

Petrino said his goal all along was simply to shake things up a little bit with his team, but that things really took off and spiraled out of control. “We were gonna do it as an episode of Punk’d, to get DeAngelo … but it just got so big so fast,” Petrino said. “It’s almost like everyone here was half expecting me to do something like that, so it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Weird.”

For his part, DeAngelo Hall was stunned with the news.

“Honestly, man, I have no idea what to think anymore,” he said. “Is he our coach? Is he not our coach? Do I hate him? Do I love him? Is the whole world just a speck on the fingernail of an ant from another universe? I’m not sure that last one will ever be answered to my satisfaction.”
